Maybe we’re the bunch of idiots, though whilst a Flip as well as the ultra-simple camcorder ilk have certainly made shooting video simpler as well as more accessible for a rank and file, you still find most of these cameras surprisingly unintuitive or only “blah” during you do what they do (Kodak’s otherwise excellent Zi8 and PlaySport cameras come to thoughts when it comes to UI. After playing with the horrendous Flip Slide HD, you were almost sure touchscreens would act as another barrier to using these things, but of all people, Sony has come to the rescue. We found the strange Bloggie line very unimpressive, but this new Bloggie Touch stand is exactly as easy to make use of as you’d imagine the one button device would be.

That large record symbol on the front? You press it, and it annals things. The manageable touchscreen UI takes caring of secondary issues, similar to personification back that things you available, swapping fortitude (it shoots at up to 1080p), environment the timer, as well as more minute settings, with 4 good placed icons, whilst a touch slider operates a digital wizz.

Despite a slim, sexy pattern of a camera, Sony still worked in a pop-out USB block and a full sized HDMI jack. Even a $180 / $200 price (for 4GB or 8GB of storage) is surprisingly good. Just a sign, in case you’d forgotten: the Bloggie Touch is built by Sony. We’ll be seeking forward to the October launch. Sony Bloggie Touch preview
